My mango seedling is lately getting brown curly leaves and dropping them, what could be the reason of this, I give it water when the soil is getting dry (aprox every 3-4 days).
The most upper leaves started first and it looks like it is slowly creeping to the lower leaves.
Could it be an illness of anything? Would it be possible to save it still or would it be to late? I also think the plant is not realy growing anymore.
The soil is just potting soil without any special thing added.
Mango plants need regular watering, Make sure you're watering your mango plant appropriately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between watering.
Mango plants require plenty of sunlight to thrive, make sure that your plant is placed in a location where it can receive bright, indirect sunlight for each day.
Yellowing leaves can signal a nitrogen deficiency, while weak stems or slow growth might point to a lack of phosphorus. Consider fertilising your plant with a balanced fertiliser specifically formulated for fruit trees.
Transplant Shock leading to leaf drop, give the plant some time to acclimatise to its new environment.
I observe webs on your plant and this makes me think the problem is spider mites. Spider mites and aphids are the pests causing leaves to droop. Insecticidal soap and neem oil are your go-to for pest control.
If you're not sure about the causes of the leaf drop or how to cure it, consulting with a gardening expert or a local nursery may be helpful.
I see webs on the stems and this makes me think the problem is spider mites. I suggest an immediate bath in soap and water repeated at least twice at five day intervals.
Fill a sink or bucket with 5 ml dish soap and a liter or more of water. Dip the plant in, wait a minute for the soap to clog the spiracles of any insects and rinse with clean water.
